Re: in middle school, in high school, and at university.

We say, "He's in college," but we don't really say, "He's at university." It sounds like there should at least be either a name or an 'a' before 'university'. It would be best if you used "studying", though. ("He's studying at Uppsalla University.") You could also say ,"He's a student at Uppsalla University."

On the other hand, it's quite normal in AusE to say "He's at university", as in "My little sister is in primary school and my big brother is at university."
